I am a born-again grannie with five grandchildren and lovely husband living in the south of England. Greetings! Love life and answering these Questions as they really stretch my mind and enable me to enjoy contact and help a lot of people. Have been a Christian since the 70's and have tried practically every denomination there is. Now we meet at home and I am fantastically happy that we have at last come out of the system because we enjoy tremendous freedom to love and follow the Lord. Our faith has not changed, but our practice has. Love to all who love the Lord Jesus in the truth.
Reading this quote from Tozer, which God are you following - the God of faith or religion?
"I want the presence of God Himself, or I don´t want anything at
all to do with religion. You would never get me interested in the old
maids´ social club with a little bit of Christianity thrown in to give it
respectability. I want all that God has, or I don´t want any."
-from 'The Counselor'
Hey! for all those who think Christianity is all 'sweetness and light' there was a 'bite' to Tozer, don't you think? I mean 'the old maids' social club with a bit of christianity thrown in' !!! Hey! how many of you have been thrown out of such 'nice' churches?
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoChristians: Talking about our faith being a spiritual faith, and what that means?
Believers: Jesus said 'the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, and the Father seeks such to worship him' (Jn.4:23). He was telling this inquisitive Samaritan woman that the time of worshipping at any specified place - whether in Samaria or in Jerusalem - was passing away. Indeed, as St. Paul put it 'your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit'.
Like, a portable Tabernacle, indwelt by God himself. One which could be touched and handled. And also, there was no longer any limit to time or place. For Paul says the ministration of the Law was glorious, but the ministration of Grace exceeded even that in glory.
What does that mean? Have we any conception? Don't you think it's urgent that we find out?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoIs the faith of Jesus a spiritual faith? Yes? Well then, tell me what 'spiritual' means?
As opposed to 'soulish' and 'carnal' let us say.

Whatever 'rapture' you believe in, IS IT a 'core doctrine'? IS IT essentially intrinsic to the Gospel?
